Blackstone and Dominium Partner to Bring New Affordable Housing to Phoenix

Blackstone to Provide $48 Million of Tax Credit Equity to Support Dominium’s New 372-Unit LIHTC Development in Phoenix, Arizona

Delivers on Blackstone’s Commitment to Improving Communities and Expanding Access to Affordable Housing

Blackstone (NYSE: BX), through its affordable housing portfolio company April Housing (“April”), and Dominium, a leading affordable housing owner, developer and manager, today announced a partnership to develop the Aviara Flats community that will bring 372 new affordable housing units to Phoenix, Arizona. As part of this partnership, Blackstone will provide $48 million of tax credit equity to support the development of these units.

The property is located an approximately 15-minute drive from Downtown Phoenix and units will be available to households earning at or below 60 percent of the area median income. Aviara Flats will feature a number of community amenities including a gym, playground, clubroom, pool and theater.

“We are excited to partner with Blackstone and April Housing to deliver on our shared commitment to address the shortage of affordable housing in the U.S.,” said Mark Moorhouse, Dominium Managing Partner & Executive Vice President. “Since breaking ground in June, we have made great progress on the development of the property and look forward to working with April to complete Aviara Flats in 2024. April’s knowledge and approach to LIHTC investment is impressive, and Dominium could not be more excited about their involvement in the tax credit space.”

Kathleen McCarthy, Global Co-Head of Blackstone Real Estate, said, “Since we launched April Housing, our focus has been on identifying ways to create and preserve affordable housing. We are excited to partner with Dominium to help deliver much-needed affordable housing in Phoenix.”

“This partnership represents an important milestone in our mission to create quality affordable housing,” said Alice Carr, Chief Executive Officer of April Housing. “This marks April’s first direct LIHTC investment, and we look forward to developing more solutions and devoting more capital to expanding the national affordable housing supply. We are thrilled to partner with Dominium to build essential new supply and meet the needs of the growing Phoenix community.”
